Relieved this wasn’t discontinued! New formula still doesn’t transfer to my contacts when I tightline upper and lower waterlines <3 I have the old formula in barbella brown and the new in Smokey bronze, the lighter shade is perfect for daytime and summer

smudges!!

looks great when you first put it on, don’t get me wrong- but it does NOT last, by the end of the day i have panda/raccoon eyes… much better options out there, please don’t waste your money!

My new holy grail

Since I bought this last spring, I’ve used almost nothing else. This has replaced my previous favourites, the Urban Decay pencils and the Stila twist up ones. I do like a pencil I can sharpen because I like to make a sharp point, and I am amazed at all the reviews complaining about problems with this because I’ve had no issues AR ALL, maybe these people just need new sharpeners. I have had no issues with it smudging thru the day either, altho I usually set it with eyeshadow. It easily lasts...

Iamsay Verified Nov 13, 2025

I’m rating it 2stars just because the color is absolutely beautiful. The pencil on the other hand is horrendous, too soft so it makes a mess when tight lining and is so creamy it clumps. When you try to sharpen it , it keeps breaking. used it for less than 2 months and it is already gone.

New Formula is Terrible

I have worn Charlotte Tilbury from the beginning and have to stop- this new formulation is simply terrible, tip of liner broke as I took it out of box, keeps breaking as I continue to try to sharpen it. Additionally I seemed to have developed an allergy to their shadows and new formulations as all. They're loosing a loyal customer.

Zero staying power! It smudges right off. Did they even test it before putting it on the market? horrible formula

Even with primer and setting spray this is all over my eyes by the end of the day. It’s also so dark it may as well be black. Will not repurchase. Stay away.

If I had known the tip would break before I even started using it I don’t think I would have bought this product. When I finally bought a sharpener because I haven’t had to buy one in years , then it broke again never had these issues with NYX EYELINER s

Poor reformulation

Loved old formula but new formulation doesn't deliver. Too aoft to apply, smudges easily, and is too soft to sharpen. The blue is too bright! Please bring back the old navy & formulation.

Color fades quickly

The color is unique, but it fades a couple of hours later which is disappointing. I like the cream texture. With this price, I had hoped they made it a better quality

Worst eyeliner on the planet!

This has to be the worst eyeliner I've ever used in my life! Smears, smudges, transfers, you name it! Everything you don't want in an eyeliner it has. Not retractable either. The shocking part is that it's $32 dollars! The $15 Sephora brand retractable eyeliners blow Charlotte out of the water.

nadyiah Verified Aug 02, 2026

My only go to eyeliner

I finally found an eyeliner that glides in my waterline. This doesn’t smudge like the others do. It is pricey but worth every penny. I wasted my money in eyeliners that I feel I have to keep rubbing on my waterline to have it show. So for anyone who needs an eye I we for your waterlines, this is it. My eye feels a little dry but not sure if it’s from this but honestly I don’t care. I love it.

BEST BROWN EYELINER

I’m obsessed!!! Creamy, stays, easy to smudge, great pigment… what more could you ask for?!

aelcott0 Verified May 22, 2026

It’s good when i tried on my hand. smudge proof, lasted the whole day. I tightlined with it multiple times just to see if i was the problem or not. Everytime i use it on my eyes it bleeds like crazy. Goes everywhere. If you don’t have oily eyes or if you’re not planning on tightlining, i would recommend. It’s honestly SUUUPER creamy and easy to use.

The green color is really nice, but unfortunately it. It tends to smudge and leaves stains under the eyes after a while, which makes it look messy.

Great color, awful formulation

I used this way longer than I should’ve because of how expensive it was. Always smeared and melted away after 3-4 hours. Kept having to reapply throughout the day. Will never purchase again.

After using a few times I tried to sharpen it and the wood completely disintegrated. I have most of the other colours, which are great. Just the blue fell apart.

Doesn’t sharpen. Every single time I tried to sharpen it ( I used 2 different ones meant for makeup) it broke off in a mess and then finally snapped off on the end after trying so many times to sharpen it without damaging the eyeliner in the pencil. Waste of my gift card, so disappointing

Doesn’t last.

Pretty color. Doesn’t last on my kids even over eyeshadow. Definitely which it was more saturated.

Exceptional liner, unbearable surveillance

The eyeliner is perfect, but I’m done buying it at Sephora Pacific Centre. The loss-prevention culture there has gotten so aggressive that it ruins the entire experience. I’ll be ordering directly from the brand from now on

Great color, but does not stay put!

I’d been wanting this color for a while. I’ve used it a fee times now lining my upper lid. Within 2-3 hours it has migrated below my eyelid so I have raccoon eyes. Not goood

Love the new colors

I’m really surprised by all the negative reviews, I bought the new style in 2 colors and both of them are great. I don’t have issues sharpening them and they don’t break easily, or at all. I haven’t managed to break the tips even trying to, to see if the other reviews were accurate. But my liners are totally fine.

Best eyeliner I have ever had!!!!!!

I’m really unsure why all the hate? However this eyeliner is smooth to put on not dry like other ones. It’s creamy and easy to do winged liner you don’t have to pull your eyelids etc. I have spent hundreds on eye liner and this stuff is magical to me! I love it soooo much I could not be happier

Not Waterproof, No Staying Power, Instant Smudge

I was really hoping this would be waterproof, but it 100% isn’t. I let it sit for a bit to hopefully dry down, which it never did, and it immeditalte transferred on my waterline, while also smudging down underneath onto my skin under my lower lashes. I use black waterproof liner to tightline my upper waterline, and this definitely didn’t cut it. The color is beautiful, but there is zero staying power. Very disappointed as a first time user of this product.

Not precise or long lasting

Unfortunately one of the worst reformulations I’ve seen. The previous Rock n Kohl was my holy grail eyeliner and there’s still no better color to me than Barbarella Brown. However, this is far too soft, creamy and not long lasting for my liking. If you like a very smudged, almost slept-in look, this might be for you. I personally prefer more precision and control.

Love it!

I have both the purple and metallic brown. Both are pretty colors and go well with my brown eyes. I did get mine when they first launched and haven’t experienced the issues at all with sharpening either one that a lot of other reviews are stating. In my eyes, it is pretty long lasting. I use primer for my lids though. The inner corners are the first to wear off. The texture is perfect for the smudging tool. Overall though, I’m super pleased and would purchase again.

Horrible quality control. Keeps breaking after sharpening and eventually the entire kohl will fall off the pencil. Waste of $$. This used to be my fav for lower waterline. Sigh!

Constantly breaks

Love the color but the crayon constantly breaks. I bought one and it immediately broke the minute I tried to use it. Exchanged it for another only to open it and it broke off again before I even got to use it. Tried sharpening it and it’s ok but super thick since it breaks off if it gets pointy at all.

Fix the sharpening issue

It goes on so smoothly and the color against my hazel eyes… perfection. HOWEVER, anyone who can get this to sharpen with the crayon breaking off constantly is better than David Copperfield! I returned the first thinking it was a fluke but returned the 2nd when it was practically a nub after 3weeks and I only used it maybe 10x. Kinda pricey at $32 and used very little. It’s the best kohl pencil and color but what good is it if you can’t sharpen it. And yes, I chilled it and froze it also and...

Design flaws - needs improvement

I LOVE the color of this product, but since you have to sharpen it, that is where I ran into all the problems. It fell out in large chunks when I sharpened it, so that wasted a lot of potential product. Also, the wood on the edges were jagged and sharp which meant I needed to sharpen it again - which repeated the cycle of problems. Overall, the cons outweighed how much I liked the color.

Doesn’t hold up to its name long lasting

The color is beautiful and goes on great, but not long lasting. Within 2 hours the eyeliner was under my 50 yr old eyes.

Not worth the money

After using this product, I went to sharpen it. It takes forever to sharpen.And you use up so much of the pencil that it's really not worth the money. The colors are beautiful and I love how it looks metallic. But for thirty two dollars, I want to use it more than a couple times I would wait to buy this until they fix that issue. It also breaks a lot when you're trying to sharpen it, which is another way you use too much of it up, trying to sharpen

Creates the perfect smoky eye!

I don't know if they've reformulated this product (it's my first time purchasing it), but this eyeliner is incredible. I have watery eyes, so getting a product to stay on my waterline without making me look like a panda is a challenge. This, however, did the trick! It lasts all day, but is easy to remove with a good makeup remover. I also love how creamy this product is! It glides on like butter, so you can also use it as an eyeshadow! A splurge, but worth it.
